This film began life in 1974 as a simple flick-book depicting the Saint Laurent river which flows through Quebec & Montreal on it's travels. The book's creator, Childe Roland is a Canadian born poet who now resides in Wales. In the year 2008 this book has been animated with the help of BethJones aka bettybluenote, in an exploratory film which co-incides with the celebration of Quebec's 400th Aniversary.
"The material of UN FLEUVE is basically a sheet of paper die cut with waves. I noticed that the shape of some waves correspond to the meandering course of the river as seen in a map. This gave me the idea of slipping in between the waves a selection of simple images related to it's socio demographic history. For example, on one page the triangular shape of the teepees of the first nation people would be echoed on another page by triangular steeples. Not to spoil the book's all white Zen like quality, these images would be introduced fleetingly, appearing subliminally as if by magic in the page flipping animation of the book. On still photos, the use of the zoom (inward or outward) would be used to give a feeling of movement to the static image. I think the book will give rise to other techniques, such as folding and weaving the waves on themselves, but in all, it is important that the book's all white Zen like quality is maintained" -Childe Roland. This initial piece is being put to artists in Canada who may help to further devlop Un Fleuve.

Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

"Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" is a poem by English author Robert Browning, written in 1855 and first published that same year in the collection titled Men and Women.

Inspiration

The title, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came", which forms the last words of the poem, is a line from William Shakespeare's play King Lear (ca. 1607). In the play, Gloucester's son, Edgar, lends credence to his disguise as Tom o' Bedlam by talking nonsense, of which this is a part:

Child Rowland to the dark tower came,His word was still 'Fie, foh, and fum I smell the blood of a British man. — King Lear, Act 3, scene 4

Shakespeare took inspiration from the fairy tale "Childe Rowland". Browning claimed that the poem came to him in a dream.

Structure

Browning explores Roland's journey to the Dark Tower in 34 six line stanzas with the rhyme form A-B-B-A-A-B and iambic pentameter. It is filled with images from nightmare but the setting is given unusual reality by much fuller descriptions of the landscape than was normal for Browning at any other time in his career. In general, however, the work is one of Browning's most complex. This is, in part, because the hero's story is glimpsed slowly around the edges; it is subsidiary to the creation of an impression of the hero's mental state.

Browning's early career began promisingly, but was not a success. The long poem Pauline brought him to the attention of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and was followed by Paracelsus, which was praised by Wordsworth and Dickens, but in 1840 the difficult Sordello, which was seen as wilfully obscure, brought his poetry into disrepute. His reputation took more than a decade to recover, during which time he moved away from the Shelleyan forms of his early period and developed a more personal style.

In 1846 Browning married the older poet Elizabeth Barrett, who at the time was considerably better known than himself. So started one of history's most famous literary marriages. They went to live in Italy, a country he called 'my university', and which features frequently in his work. By the time of her death in 1861, he had published the crucial collection Men and Women. The collection Dramatis Personae and the book-length epic poemThe Ring and the Book followed, and made him a leading British poet. He continued to write prolifically, but today it is largely the poetry he had written in this middle period on which his reputation rests.

Darkness

Darkness, the polar opposite to brightness, is understood to be an absence of visible light. It is also the appearance of black in a colored space.

Humans are unable to distinguish color when either light or darkness predominate. In conditions of insufficient light, perception is achromatic and ultimately, black.

The emotional response to darkness has generated metaphorical usages of the term in many cultures.

Scientific

Perception

The perception of darkness differs from the mere absence of light due to the effects of after images on perception. In perceiving, the eye is active, and that part of the retina that is unstimulated produces a complementary afterimage.

Physics

In terms of physics, an object is said to be dark when it absorbs photons, causing it to appear dim compared to other objects. For example, a matte black paint does not reflect much visible light and appears dark, whereas white paint reflects much light and appears bright. For more information see color.

Light cannot be absorbed without limit. According to the principle of the conservation of Energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one type to another. Consequently, most objects that absorb visible light reemit it as heat. So, although an object may appear dark, it is likely bright at a frequency that humans cannot perceive. For more information see thermodynamics.

Dear Listeners,
We chose to record this poem into a song to cap off our series of songs written in honor of Stephen King's epic Dark Tower novels because, in a way, we hoped he would appreciate a nod to his own influences as an expression of gratitude for the years of frighteningly good times he's given us.
So, thank you Mr. King, and I hope this homage finds you well.

Well I wanted to start this with a bang so here it is.
I've decided to make this channel where I post random, mostly unknown music with intents to promote it and allow the listener/subscriber to discover new music. I have a full introduction on my "About" section.
The Enid surprisingly has been around during the first wave of Progressive Rock in the 70's. Over time they have got together a diverse group age wise. I first found them from being to High Voltage Festival2011London. A friend at the concert got me to go see them with her in Birmingham later that year. It was a live performance with the Birmingham SymphonicOrchestra, you could almost imaging dogfights flying around the concert hall, an emotional experience "being Romantic inspired". To my surprise comic book artist/author Alan Moore appeared as a guest, he was reading his poem "The MirrorOf Love" while Robert John Godfrey (founding member) played his piece also titled "The Mirror Of Love" to accompany Moore.
I do want to apologize for the poor quality of the photo, I found it impossible to find a good album picture online so I decided to take a picture of my album and touch it up in Photoshop, to my disappointment it came out as mediocre as the photos online that I was avoiding...Hope I can reach out to you people, no matter how small you may be, as long as you are passionate and curious.

Lyrics:
Traveling alone in an unknown world
Accepting the burden that never was mine
To carry on for the knights who have gone
Keeping their name and their honor sacred
Was he a liar who told me this path?
Treacherous smile contorted staff
There is a tower, I'm doomed to go
an Unrevealed power this traveler must know
(I know)
I'll never return
But as long as there's breath in my lungs
Carry on I hear the call
My sword will burn
and the tower will crumble and fall
As I near it I hear them say
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're calling my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never be seen again
Casting off nightmares from unsleeping eyes
Grim are the visions of death undisguised
Long have I journeyed to Unseen demise
All of my years wasted searching for lies
(It's time)
For me to die
But i fear that my tale won't be told
This misfortune is mine to hold
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're calling my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never return
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're Screaming my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never be seen again

This film began life in 1974 as a simple flick-book depicting the Saint Laurent river which flows through Quebec & Montreal on it's travels. The book's creator, Childe Roland is a Canadian born poet who now resides in Wales. In the year 2008 this book has been animated with the help of BethJones aka bettybluenote, in an exploratory film which co-incides with the celebration of Quebec's 400th Aniversary.
"The material of UN FLEUVE is basically a sheet of paper die cut with waves. I noticed that the shape of some waves correspond to the meandering course of the river as seen in a map. This gave me the idea of slipping in between the waves a selection of simple images related to it's socio demographic history. For example, on one page the triangular shape of the teepees of the first nation people would be echoed on another page by triangular steeples. Not to spoil the book's all white Zen like quality, these images would be introduced fleetingly, appearing subliminally as if by magic in the page flipping animation of the book. On still photos, the use of the zoom (inward or outward) would be used to give a feeling of movement to the static image. I think the book will give rise to other techniques, such as folding and weaving the waves on themselves, but in all, it is important that the book's all white Zen like quality is maintained" -Childe Roland. This initial piece is being put to artists in Canada who may help to further devlop Un Fleuve.

Dear Listeners,
We chose to record this poem into a song to cap off our series of songs written in honor of Stephen King's epic Dark Tower novels because, in a way, we hoped he would appreciate a nod to his own influences as an expression of gratitude for the years of frighteningly good times he's given us.
So, thank you Mr. King, and I hope this homage finds you well.

Lyrics:
Traveling alone in an unknown world
Accepting the burden that never was mine
To carry on for the knights who have gone
Keeping their name and their honor sacred
Was he a liar who told me this path?
Treacherous smile contorted staff
There is a tower, I'm doomed to go
an Unrevealed power this traveler must know
(I know)
I'll never return
But as long as there's breath in my lungs
Carry on I hear the call
My sword will burn
and the tower will crumble and fall
As I near it I hear them say
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're calling my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never be seen again
Casting off nightmares from unsleeping eyes
Grim are the visions of death undisguised
Long have I journeyed to Unseen demise
All of my years wasted searching for lies
(It's time)
For me to die
But i fear that my tale won't be told
This misfortune is mine to hold
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're calling my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never return
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
the fallen have risen they're Screaming my name
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Questing for vengeance to never be seen again

Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

"Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" is a poem by English author Robert Browning, written in 1855 and first published that same year in the collection titled Men and Women.

Inspiration

The title, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came", which forms the last words of the poem, is a line from William Shakespeare's play King Lear (ca. 1607). In the play, Gloucester's son, Edgar, lends credence to his disguise as Tom o' Bedlam by talking nonsense, of which this is a part:

Child Rowland to the dark tower came,His word was still 'Fie, foh, and fum I smell the blood of a British man. — King Lear, Act 3, scene 4

Shakespeare took inspiration from the fairy tale "Childe Rowland". Browning claimed that the poem came to him in a dream.

Structure

Browning explores Roland's journey to the Dark Tower in 34 six line stanzas with the rhyme form A-B-B-A-A-B and iambic pentameter. It is filled with images from nightmare but the setting is given unusual reality by much fuller descriptions of the landscape than was normal for Browning at any other time in his career. In general, however, the work is one of Browning's most complex. This is, in part, because the hero's story is glimpsed slowly around the edges; it is subsidiary to the creation of an impression of the hero's mental state.
